...Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel and veteran Woodstocker Joe Cocker will perform over the weekend. One aspect of the original Woodstock threatens to repeat itself -- weather forecasters predict on-again off-again thunderstorms that would once again turn the fields of the 850-acre farm into mud...
...despite all efforts, the mood was a little shaky. Granted, at the big party a few weeks earlier for some liquor company, there were mud-wrestling drag queens. (No kidding.)

He hugged the sand on the orders of Colonel George Taylor, commanding the 16th regimental combat team of the First Division. Looking up, Franklin saw the colonel caked with sand and mud to his shoulders, bawling the now famous charge: "There are two kinds of men on this beach: the dead, and those about to die. So let's get the hell out of here!" The colonel went up the ridge, but Franklin stayed to do his job, taking refuge in a captured...
